Bachelor of Business
Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
About this program
Swinburne's Bachelor of Business gives students a wide bench of majors (Business Administration, Business Analytics and Analysis, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Human Resource Management, Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Management, Marketing, Sports Management, plus a heavier Accounting major and an even heavier Accounting and Finance double major), and then leaves a genuinely large chunk of the degree, up to eight units, open for a second major, co-major, minor or straight electives. That flexibility means two Bachelor of Business graduates from the same cohort can leave with quite different profiles: one stacking marketing with a psychology minor, another pairing accounting with a data analytics co-major.
A Professional variant of the degree exists for students who want a placement built into the structure rather than left as an optional add-on, mirroring the model Swinburne uses across its engineering and IT degrees. Industry-integrated learning is something of a house style here rather than a one-off feature bolted onto a single program.
The Sports Management major stands out as a less common offering compared to typical Australian business degrees, useful given Melbourne's concentration of major sporting codes, venues and sports-industry employers.
